QuickTime is a set of tools developed by Apple for handling many kinds of media, including video, photo slideshows, audio, and more.

The basic version of QuickTime, which includes both a media playing application all the necessary tools and software for dealing with QuickTime files, is included with every Apple computer, and is available as a free download for computers that use the Microsoft Windows operating system. QuickTime is also bundled with the Windows version of the popular music and video management software iTunes.

QuickTime can be used to play a wide variety of files playable by other programs in addition to Apple's own formats which include .mov video files and Apple lossless audio. It's a critical component of Apple's widely-used Final Cut Studio video editing suite and the Apple TV set-top-box for internet television.

The software is regularly updated. The current version is 7.5.5, with another version planned in the first quarter of 2009.

At WWDC 2009, Apple announced that the version of QuickTime to be included with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard will be QuickTime X (aka QuickTime 10). The title bar and movie controls fade away when the mouse moves away from the video's containing box, leaving a plain box with the movie playing. Clip trimming and scrubbing will be possible right from within the movie interface.
